Just moved here from Oregon and do not have a Utah DL. No point in getting one as I am a student and more than likely heading back to Oregon.

In order to purchase a Handgun, you have to show proof of Utah residency per BCI. What is the defenition though? I have emailed (No reply) and called (No answer) with no result. I have utilities in my name @ my current mailing address, paystubs, Student ID, and a leasing contract. Would these be appropriate documents or am I limited to purchasing in OR only?

Mods/Admins: Please move if this is in the wrong section

Utah ID Card huh. So If I get that, I should be good to go?

Will having a Utah ID Card AND a valid Oregon DL cause problems?

A UT ID card AND a UT Resident CFP, both showing your valid UT residence and you should be. But it would be a really good idea to get your DL changed over too, you'll be waiting in the line at the DLD anyway...

Problem with that is then we would have to change over car registrations as well. Then next year change everything BACK over to Oregon. Currently we are legal to keep our Oregon Plates/DL due to being students, and would save alot of $$ in the long run to not change.

Time to start looking at a UT ID Card. Thanks guys!

From what I understand, citizens are not supposed to sell their firearms to out-of-state residents. It's doubtful that many sellers know this, but I remember reading it somewhere.

You might be able to buy the firearm from an Oregon dealer and have them transfer it to a local FFL (just pay the transfer fee to the local FFL), but I can't be sure on that.

Even with say a Utah ID Card and a Utah CCW?

How much is the transfer fee usually? The other option is to 'purchase' the handgun from my father. Oregon law states a father can gift a son/daughter a handgun no questions asked. But then we run into the issue of shipping which will cost $100+
